The use of modern technologies that enable the identification of transcripts expressed in brain nuclei involved in the control of neuroendocrine and metabolic function can immensely contribute to the identification of potential therapeutic targets in the fight against different metabolic disorders. The therapies currently available to treat anorexia nervosa, HIV-related lipodystrophy, cac…
The increased number of individuals exhibiting obesity and Metabolic Syndrome has been associated with prolonged stress caused by modern life demands. There are studies suggesting that Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis hyperactivation could account for these conditions, since the end product of this axis, the glucocorticoid, has important adipogenic actions. Interestingly, it has …
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is associated with the control of energy homeostasis. Corticotropin-releasing hormone neurons situated in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (CRHPVN), the major HPA axis regulator, are known to coordinate metabolism via endocrine, autonomic and behavioral responses after stressful stimuli, such as food deprivation. The HPA axis ca…
The increased activity of neurons that produce and secrete corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF), located in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) and, consequently, the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, is observed in response to stress induced by food deprivation. At least in part, the increased activity of the HPA axis during fasting is associ…
The increase in the CRFPVN neurons activity followed by the activation of the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal axis it's a mechanism observed in response to the stress of food deprivation. At least in part, the increased activity of the HPA axis during fasting is associated with decreased plasma concentrations of leptin. Interestingly, there are studies showing that animals with high-fat di…
It has been suggested that the hyperactivation of the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis seems to contribute to the development of pathologies associated with the stress of modern life, such as obesity and Metabolic syndrome. The adipogenic actions mediated by the glucocorticoids, the final product of the HPA axis, support this theory. Interestingly, the activity of this axis and t…
It has been suggested that hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis hyperactivation could account for obesity and metabolic syndrome, since the end product of this axis, the glucocorticoid, has important adipogenic actions. Interestingly, it has also been suggested that the HPA axis activation is coupled to changes in peripheral energy stores. However, the neurocircuitry and the neuronal…

According to the World Health Organization the obesity become a global epidemic and the number of obese individuals continues to grow. Therefore understanding the complex neurocircuitry regulating food intake and energy expenditure becomes more pivotal to determining effective treatments and therapies against obesity. The hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis, composed by thyrotropin-…
